Peter the Third Feodorovich

Peter III Fjodorovich (originally called Karl Peter Ulrich, 1728¨C1762; 1761¨C1762), was the son of the Russian Emperor, Karl Fjodorovich and Anna Petrovna of Holstein Gottholm, the grandson of Peter the Great. Peter III was originally a German and hardly spoke Russian.

Peter III, who was unmarried and unmarried to Queen Elizabeth Petrovna, was chosen to be the heir to the Russian throne in 1744. Peter III's seizure was the beginning of the Holstein-Goddop-Romanov dynasty. Because of his worship of the Great Three, he was even more admired. He immediately stopped the seven-year war in favour of Russia and made an alliance with the Prussian prince Chester. Peter III not only did not invade Prussia, but in turn ordered the Chernivtsi General, who had captured Berlin a year ago, to lead 20,000 Russian troops to help the Prussians, and to fight Austria under Chester. Peter himself even expressed his desire to fight under Chester.

Peter the Third proclaimed the abolition of the duty of service of the aristocrats and the cessation of the persecution of the Afro-Americans. But due to the confiscation of monastery territory and the forced Prussianization of the army, the interests of the Holstein family of his origin were placed above the interests of the Russian state, causing resentment among the Russian monks, aristocrats and soldiers. On June 28, 1762, Peter the Third was destroyed by his wife Ekaterina (Ekaterina II) in a court coup. At the end of October, the abolished Tsar Peter the Third was poisoned (also called extortion) and Ekaterina declared to be unhealthy and died.
